Is it possible operating systems on a PC can cause game to lag or stutter?

:)

 

lag/stutter in games

having recently upgraded my cpu and gpu
from a 4200+ and x1950pro

im experiencing lag or stutter in certain games
grid,farcry2,crysis to name a few
i have lowered the settings.but the lag/stutter is still there
now i used to play grid before my upgrade on high settings
with no lag at all
in some cases some of my games ran better

this is confusing cause my system is a lot better than it used to be??
surely my pc can run most of todays games on high settings??
is my pc bottlenecked?

your help would be great guys*Toast :toast:

 

Windows 11 lags / stutters on Desktop (new PC)

Hello guys

I recently bought a new PC after my old one was overdue.

The new PC is an HP Omen 45L GT22-0629nz

Specs:

• Windows 11 Home (22H2, 64 Bit)
  
• AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X
  
• 32 GB RAM
  
• 1 TB SSD
  
• NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3070 Ti (8 GB)
  

Since I set up the PC whenever I'm on the desktop, windows and all windows applications tend to lag / stutter / work slow.

When try to open up the windows menu (Windows Key), the Windows explorer or applications like "settings" the pc takes a few seconds to open it, then the application stutters or is very laggy. Dragging program windows across the screen stutters also.

In contrary when I open up a game (for example CS:GO) and minimze the game, Windows runs smoothly (everything opens instantly, no stutters, etc.).

The task manager and the graphs tell me that 16% CPU and about 20%-22% RAM is used while the PC is not operating anything.

So the lag / stuttering ONLY occurs on windows itself, not other programs (games, browser, etc.) and only when nothing else is open.

What I tried to fix it:

• All Windows Updates
  
• Driver Updates
  
• Optional Windows and Driver Updates
  
• BIOS Update
  
• GPU Driver Update
  
• "Reset-PC" in Windows Options with "Deleting all Data" and "Formatting all discs"
  

I couldn't figure out what causes the lag so far, maybe I have an experimental version of Windows?

Is it a windows or hardware problem?

PC is out of the box so I didn't change hard- or software so far except dowloading firefox and steam.

If there's not an easy solution I have overseen so far I am considering contacting HP support.

Thanks for Help

Windows 10 - Nvidia drivers causing system-wide stutter

Actually, we can go over the broader steps for stuttering so we know that everything has been covered besides the Nvidia troubleshooting.

Here are the steps I've collected that work most for stuttering:

1) Try these fixes for stuttering in games in Windows 10:

2) Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

3) If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows...


4) Try all possible hardware tests here:

5) But remember that in Windows 10 everything depends upon the quality of the install, and Factory or Upgrade installs are inferior installs which most enthusiasts won't even run because they'd expect endless issues. Consider now or later doing the Clean Install in this link which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given: Redirecting


The reason I suggest this is that no one who has adopted the install in the above link has ever come back to report further problems I've seen, including another version failure. This is because everything in Windows 10 is dependent upon the quality of the install, especially Version Updates which will choke on lesser quality installs, and there is no possibility of problems if you stick ONLY with the steps, tools and methods in that tutorial.

It is also one of life's great learning experiences that will permanently make you the master of your PC because you will learn everything that works best and how to keep it that way.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
